That’s a very insubstantial silver lining.

Yep, but I’d bet 50 quatloos that someone will try to spin it that way.
Russell Vought, a Christian Nationalist who helped create Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 and now the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, said, “We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected. When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work, because they are increasingly viewed as the villains. We want their funding to be shut down … We want to put them in trauma.”
Frightening that these are the people in charge.

Report from Ars Technica:
Florida is planning to end all vaccination requirements in the state, including requirements for school children to get routine childhood vaccinations that protect them and their communities from severe and life-threatening diseases, such as Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), pertussis (whooping cough), diphtheria, measles, tetanus, RSV, and polio.
Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo made the announcement at a press conference on Wednesday alongside Governor Ron DeSantis.
“What I’m most excited about is an announcement that we’re making now, which is that the Florida Department of Health, in partnership with the governor, is going to be working to end all vaccine mandates in Florida law—all of them, all of them, all of them, every last one of them,” Ladapo said. “Every last one of them is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery.”
Classic horror movie scenario: “The calls are coming from inside your house.”
And fewer scientists in leadership roles to call out the misinformation that they want to push through the CDC. They just fired the temporary head of the CDC because she refused to rubber stamp misinformation, and they replaced her with someone with no background in infectious disease research or medicine. He is one of Theil’s yes men with a degree in the humanities.
